You, probably, once you download the demo for Brush Burial, a retro-inspired Thief-ish immersive sim about being a horrible little swamp devil named Fennel with eight eyes and a tail that stabs people in the dark so it can steal their stuff.

The developer describes it as a “First Person Snatcher” where “You play as Fennel, a knife-wielding swamp devil with an eye for gold and a penchant for violence.
